Interaction

A primary role of design is to bring technology into a human context and provide interface mechanisms between technological artifacts and human users. Much of our work encompasses interaction design, from its cognitive and physical foundations to basic models, methods and principles, user studies, scenario-based design, and context sensitivity.

As the boundary between physical products and media continues to blur, interaction between human and machine will take place on many new levels. Central to our point of view is that interaction design methods not be limited to media (web design, for example), but should also be applied to physical products, environments, services, and complex systems.
